Full rankings: California livability rankings.

| Housing affordability (median home value ÷ median household income) | 5.44 | 66.4 |
| Median household income | $79,704 | 47.4 |
| Mean commute time | 27.1 minutes | 42.2 |
| Violent crime (reported crimes per 100,000 residents) | 405.9 | 60.5 |

Method: percentile rank (count below + 0.5 × count equal) ÷ N × 100, lower-better measures inverted; composite is the mean of available component scores, rounded to 1 decimal; a county needs at least 5 of 7 components or it is unranked, never estimated. Vintages: ACS 2024 5-year (2020–2024) for housing affordability, income, and commute; FBI Crime Data Explorer 2024 for violent crime; County Health Rankings 2025 release for graduation and uninsured. Unemployment (BLS LAUS 2024) is missing for every California county because the BLS public API was unreachable (HTTP 503) on 2026-10-25; composites rest on the other components and will be recomputed if BLS data becomes available.

GF figure: General Fund, FY 2025-26 adopted.
Fund-balance % dashed: June 30, 2025 balance $51,507,421 is prior-year, not FY 2025-26 ending
Colusa County: Fund-balance % dashed: no GF ending balance published ($6,929,481 is a drawdown of prior obligated balances)
Placer County: Fund-balance % dashed: no GF ending balance published
Yuba County: GF total dashed: no GF total extracted (staff report gives adopted totals/contributions/reserves but no GF total)
Yuba County: Fund-balance % dashed: no GF ending balance published (reserves are reserves, not ending)
Butte County: No Butte County dashboard in this dataset (no county GF figure exists here); a city dashboard in the county, if any, does not supply a county figure.
Sacramento County: No Sacramento County dashboard in this dataset (no county GF figure exists here); a city dashboard in the county, if any, does not supply a county figure.
Per-capita GF spending = the dashboard’s published General Fund total ÷ county population (ACS 2024 5-year, table B01003). Fund balance % = published GF ending balance ÷ GF total for the same fiscal year unless noted.
— in the fund-balance column means no GF ending balance is published on that dashboard (adopted budgets typically state only a January 1 balance).
